The Raid Hour is hosted every Wednesday from 6pm to 7pm local time. Zekrom's Raid Hours will be hosted three times this month: Dec. 1, Dec. 8, and Dec. 15. Each Raid Hour will be between 6pm and 7pm local time. Being hosted local time means that no matter where you are in the world, the Raid Hour will start at exactly 6pm, and you don't have to adjust for time zones.

Raid Guide
Zekrom
- Type: Dragon, Electric
- Weak Against: Dragon, Fairy, Ground, Ice
- Strong Against: Fire, Grass, Flying, Electric, Steel, Water
- Notes
- Dragon attacks deal heavy damage to Dragon Pokémon, so it is wise to use a Pokémon that can learn a Dragon attack but isn't a Dragon-type.
- There are no Pokémon types that are resistant to Zekrom, so your focus should be on Pokémon that can deal as much damage as possible, and to avoid Pokémon that take extra damage.
